that’s out of my console

i like to buy on impluse. i’ve been from the ‘if it feels good, do it’ school of thinking for most of my life. occasionally, that type of thinking bites me in the ass. i don’t like being bitten in the ass. here’s a list of games you should NOT buy.

– turning point: fall of liberty – this game was utterly misleading. its base premise was what would happen if winston churchill had been hit by a car? he wouldn’t have been around to stop the nazis invading, blah blah blah. what they didn’t tell you was that it was the graphical equivalent of a hangover.

– terminator salvation – AWFUL. captainadventure tried warning me about this shit, and i probably should have listened. it involved robots though, so it was hard to say no. plus it was the terminator! sluggish controls and forcing you to play the game 2 or 3 times to get the platinum trophy? makes you want to stab yourself.

– dead space – i think i am alone on this one, since they’re making a second one. or maybe it’s made already. i don’t care. it’s awful, and an incredible waste of time. mostly, the view is irritating, since if when faced with an alien issue you want to be able to look around you, not over someone’s shoulder.

turning point: fall of liberty – saw it for $10, and the actual storyline caught my attention. i love that whole ‘alternate universe’ thing. playing it though was a different matter – AWFUL. literally, no redeeming factors.

excellent call on not buying terminator salvation. i was really disappointed by this game. i think it could have been a good one had they put a lot more effort into it, but in its current state it’s a bad thing.

i played dead space on the ps3. the camera angle was what did it for me. when it comes to aliens and whatever, i really like to be able to see what is going on! great point about the sneaky alien attack… had that happen to me a couple of times until i gave up on the game.

Turning point: Fall of liberty – I’ve never even heard this game to be honest. Just looked it upon good ‘ol gamespot, and yeah, saw that critics and users alike voted for it in the 4-4.5 range. Thanks for the heads up on this one. AVOIDED

Terminator salvation – I almost picked up a copy of this, and then my friend and my decided to get a hockey game. Good move it looks like. It looks like an unpolished game to me via the screen shots and user reviews. And you feel this way as well, so once again, I’m glad it’s avoided.

Dead Space – I was actually a fan of this. I’m not sure if you played on xbox or PC, but the I didn’t mind the view (behind the back), but like you, wish it was a free floating camera that you could angle. Nothing like all your energy focused on some mutated alien in front of you, when an alien that you shot it’s legs out behind you, slowly crawls up behind you only to jab you through the heart or whatever.
